Hi,

I have a deck that's a story high (it's brick for about 8-9 feet and the deck sits on top of that) with wood beams above it and was planning on growing Trumpet Vine to add some dimension, color and more privacy. However I read that that type of vine can cause damage to structures and should not be grown near one's home. So now I'm not sure if I should still go ahead with it...

I've done some research but cannot seem to find a vine that's safe. I don't mind the maintenance but still need something that's manageable.
Would anyone know of a vine to use? Recommendations??

I live in zone 4-6 (Southwestern Michigan) near Indiana and the deck gets partial sunlight.

Thank you
Ana
